There are places where you can rip open a pack of seeds and sprinkle them upon the ground in all sorts of fantastic combinations and they will grow into stunning displays all on their own. I dream of such a place. This is my adventure of gardening in Nevada. Welcome to Gardens in Desert.

Jiggy with It

I find myself spotting flower seeds while I am out and about, and then concocting a seed holder contraption out of tissue, a folded business card, anything that I can use to last until I can get back home. I've watched asparagus seeds tumble from my shirt pocket into the rock mulch below and had to go after them. A friend of mine glues the sides of long rectangles and makes cute little envelopes. I have used regular envelopes in a pinch and they are way too big. So here is the modified version using payment return envelopes provided by the utility companies. (Yeah utility companies, and the fact that I love running water and the heater, as it is cold outside now, 42 degrees at night.) You can cut them to the size that you wish and glue one end using a glue stick. Test the results as glue sticks vary, and see if it holds and then you can clip the tab to match the other finished end and really get meticulously jiggy with it. There is some satisfaction in cutting the utility envelops, (Where did this come from?) But most of all, have fun, collect seeds, and share with friends. And if they are your friends seeds, ask first!

Thanks for visiting! To all of my gardening friends, carry on and hurry back!

Black Mountain Garden

Black Mountain Garden is a place for people who enjoy gardening, rockwork, waterfeatures, sculpture, plantings, propagating new plants, garden wildlife, and the sharing of plants and ideas with other fellow gardeners.

About Me

My name is Laura and I live on Black Mountain, just outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. I garden in the highly alkaline soils of the windy foothills of Black Mountain. My garden is 3 years old, and began as a blank canvas of poor dirt surrounded by a 6 foot high cinder block wall. I grew up in Missouri, which is where I got my farmgirl ways, and I am waiting for my husband to take to me to live where there is black dirt, where I'll be set free and he can go fishing.
